DEA cameras tracking hundreds of millions of car journeys across the US

A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration program to keep tabs on cars close to the U.S.-Mexican border has been gradually expanded nationwide and is regularly used by other law enforcement agencies in their hunt for suspects.

The extent of the system, which is said to contain hundreds of millions of records on motorists and their journeys, was disclosed in documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/blog/technology-and-liberty-criminal-law-reform/foia-documents-reveal-massive-dea-program-record-ame) as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. Much of the information disclosed to the ACLU was undated, making it difficult to understand the growth of the network, which is different from the cameras used to collect traffic tolls on expressways.

One of the undated documents said more than 100 cameras had been deployed in at least California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey. The cameras snap each vehicle that passes, recording its license plate, the direction of travel and the time. Some cameras also snap a picture of the driver and passengers.

It was set up in 2008 and was opened to other law enforcement agencies in May 2009. Two years after it was launched, the system helped the DEA seize 98 kilograms of cocaine, 8,336 kilograms of marijuana and collect US$866,380. Its use was also expanded to the hunt for cars being driven by suspects in child abductions, rapes and other crimes.

But it’s unclear if there is any court oversight of the network. The ACLU said thatany federal, state or local law enforcement agent (https://www.aclu.org/files/assets/Pages%20from%2033552-33575%202014.01.31%20-%20DEA%20Response.pdf) that had been vetted by the DEA could conduct queries on the database.

"98 kilograms of cocaine, 8,336 kilograms of marijuana and collect US$866,380." iow, ALMOST NOTHING compared to the size of the market, but it gives the cops an invasive tool to play with,and I figure corrupt cops do illegal searches when paid enough by PIs, divorce lawyers, companies, etc.

No jail for former CHP officer who shared explicit photos of suspects

A former California Highway Patrol officer was sentenced to probation Tuesday for sharing racy photographs he took from the cellphones of women who were in custody.

Sean D. Harrington, 35, pleaded no contest to two felony counts of unauthorized access to a computer and copying of data.

Harrington was sentenced to three years of probation and six months of jail time, but Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Terri Mockler suspended his incarceration term. Harrington must also complete 27 hours of violence prevention training.

On Aug. 29, Harrington searched another woman’s phone while she was in jail for a DUI arrest and sent revealing photos to his phone. After reviewing her iPad, which was linked to her iPhone, she found out about the breach.

Harrington forwarded the photos to two colleagues, prosecutors said.

Harrington's sharing of explicit photos rocked the state agency, especially after he told prosecutors that such unauthorized access of suspects' phones was widespread.

Chief sorry cops unleashed police dogs to maul woman’s leg while officers held her down

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/wvec_colvin_150129c-800x430.jpg

olice chief in Virginia said on Thursday that his officers had used “unreasonable” force when they allowed police dogs to attack an Army reservist who attends Norfolk State University.
Whitney Dunn told Potomac Local (http://potomaclocal.com/2015/01/27/woodbridge-army-reservist-recovering-attack-norfolk-police-dog/) that her cousin, 21-year-old Private London Colvin, was attending an off-campus party on Sunday morning when a fight occurred at around 2:15 a.m.
“She was at a party off campus. She said that a fight broke out, and she had nothing to do with the fight. She did say she was at the party, and her and her friends were leaving,” Dunn explained. “She was definitely being loud – she did admit to that.”

“The two other police officers approached her – asked her to stop. Whatever the case may be, they had her down on the ground when the dog came. Two of the police officers restrained her on the ground, and then they allowed the dogs to attack her.”

so the canine officer deployed the dog to restrain the woman so nobody would get hurt,” :lol :lol Cops ALWAYS worried about people getting hurt! :lol :lol

Cops Arrest Public Defender For Attempting To Do Her Job

Due process? In this "justice" system? It is to LOL (http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-public-defender-detained-outside-court-6046088.php).

A San Francisco deputy public defender was handcuffed and arrested at the Hall of Justice after she objected to city police officers questioning her client outside a courtroom…


They wanted to take pictures and ask questions without the "interference" of someone who knew how the system works. So, they arrested her for resisting arrest -- which, as the video shows, she was very clearly NOT DOINGBEFORE, AFTER OR DURING THE ARREST.

Tillotson objected to the arrest, but she placed her hands behind her back and allowed police to cuff her. She never struggled or otherwise impeded the officers in their duty -- which was [WARNING: circular reasoning ahead] TO ARREST HER FOR RESISTING ARREST.


It's a mindbending, oxymoronic, ugly display of force, where might = right and anyone standing in the way of an investigation needs to GTFO. With cuffs.

Here's how Gideon at A Public Defender sums up this incident (http://apublicdefender.com/2015/01/29/6135/):

It’s one thing for officers to get their way by removing civilians from the scene who object to their searches and seizures (http://apublicdefender.com/2014/02/26/fernandez-v-california-remove-the-objector-wont-be-no-objection/), but it takes quite another level of totalitarianism and disregard for the law to arrest and make absent an officer of the court.

Even the law prof [Is it impossible to get quotes from actual lawyers with "in the trenches" experience? Are there really that few of them?] quoted by SFGate -- who believes Tillotson erred by inserting herself between police and their "person of interest" -- had this to say about the PD's actions.
[Hadar Aviram] added, “Regardless of where the constitutional disposition is, the attorney was in no way being violent or resisting arrest or being disruptive in any way. It’s extreme and it’s bad press for (the police). I’m surprised.”https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150129/07452629850/cops-arrest-public-defender-attempting-to-do-her-job.shtml

New Mexico prosecutor refuses to indict cops after grand jury calls shooting ‘unjustified’

According to dash cam video, Mendez can be seen putting the stolen SUV into reverse, hitting the officer’s cruiser, before speeding away.

As the SUV pulls away, Fonte can be seen shooting at the car’s tires as DeBaca shoots at the driver.

Mendez and his passengers, including a 4-year-old child, were taken into custody in a parking lot a short distance away.

Police authorities stated that Mendez has a criminal history and was believed to be armed, but no weapon was found in the vehicle.

Hicks, who was appointed to handle the case by District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco, dismissed the grand jury’s finding saying,

“A reasonable person in the same circumstances would be in fear of death or great bodily harm to himself or others and might use deadly force.” :lol

What's different here is the police negotiator was negotiating a white man, who, had he been black, would have seen a SWAT invasion, flash-bang grenades, and shot 100 times, no questions asked, just another ho-hum, "faith-based" murder of an unarmed black man.

Anti-oil sands activists in the U.S. are getting visits from the FBI

Unexpected visitors have been dropping in on anti-oil activists in the United States — knocking on doors, calling, texting, contacting family members.
The visitors are federal agents.

Opponents of Canadian oil say they’ve been contacted by FBI investigators in several states following their involvement in protests that delayed northbound shipments of equipment to Canada’s oilsands.

A lawyer working with the protesters says he’s personally aware of a dozen people having been contacted in the northwestern U.S. and says the actual number is probably higher.

Larry Hildes says it’s been happening the last few months in Washington State, Oregon and Idaho. He says one person got a visit at work, after having already refused to answer questions.

“They appear to be interested in actions around the tarsands and the Keystone XL pipeline,” Hildes said in an interview.

“It’s always the same line: ‘We’re not doing criminal investigations, you’re not accused of any crime. But we’re trying to learn more about the movement.“’ :lol

Does Ferguson run 'debtor's prison'? Lawsuit targets a source of unrest.

A lawsuit filed Sunday aims to correct one of the driving factors behind the racial unrest in Ferguson, Mo., last summer: a local court system that, critics say, systematically jailed people too poor to pay fines accumulated from traffic tickets or other minor infractions.

A kind of 19th-century "debtor's prison" has been in place for years in Ferguson and nearby Jennings, Mo., say those who filed the lawsuit. The result, they add, is "a Dickensian system that flagrantly violates the basic constitutional and human rights of our community’s most vulnerable people."

The lawsuit comes at a time when several states and cities – including Ferguson – are beginning to address the grievances laid bare last summer. Ferguson has just not gone far enough or fast enough, the lawsuit claims.

As of last October, many small towns near St. Louis (http://www.csmonitor.com/csmlists/topic/St.+Louis) with majority black populations collected more money from traffic fines and court fees than from property and sales taxes

court-related revenues were the second largest source of city income, accounting for $2.6 million of the $20 million in total revenue, the report found. And in 2013, Ferguson issued almost 33,000 arrest warrants, more than one per resident, for unpaid fines for minor violations – though many were issued for non-residents.

"The practice of using fines and fees to impose ‘hidden taxes’ on the poorest populations is evident," the report said.

Video shows man throwing rocks gunned down by police in hail of bullets while trying to run away

Police in Washington state said that they were forced to kill a man who was armed with rocks, but witnesses claimed the suspect was trying to run away.

The Bellingham Herald reported (http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2015/02/10/4126278/witnesses-pasco-police-kill-rock.html) that “more than a dozen witnesses” watched Pasco police officers confront a man outside Vinny’s Bakery and Cafe on Tuesday. The man was observed throwing a rock at a passing vehicle before police arrived.

According to the witnesses, the suspect was holding a rock, and appeared to threaten officers.

Ben Patrick said that he was just yards away when he saw officers try to shock the man with their Tasers.

“The guy was trying to pull the Taser (prongs) out of his arm,” Patrick recalled.

Cellphone video that was posted to YouTube shows the man confronting police before the officers fire three shots, and then begin chasing the suspect.

The officers appear to corner the man in the blurry video, and about 10 more shots are fired.

“It was just a rock!” one of the witnesses yells at the officers.

In the video, a motionless body can be seen lying next to a building with officers standing over it.

“He’s already dead!” a witness says as the officers handcuff the suspect (aka a cop-threatening corpse :lol ).

Sureshbhai Patel, 57, sued the city and two officers in a civil rights complaint filed on Thursday, alleging race factored into his treatment, his attorney said. The FBI said it was also investigating.

Patel told police officers who stopped him: “No English, Indian,” and gave the house number for his son, the suit said.

A police officer then tossed Patel, who weighs about 130 pounds, to the ground, according to the complaint.

He was severely injured, requiring surgery to relieve pressure on his spinal cord, the complaint said. He has regained some movement in his arms and legs but remains weak, his attorney said.

Now I dialed 911 a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reacting
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue truck and embalm the goner
They don't care cause they stay paid anyway
They treat you like an ace that can't beat a trey
A no-use number with no-use people.-Flavor Flav, "911's a Joke"

In 1990, the biggest complaint about 911, which has far from disappeared, is that when you call police for medical help in black communities they are outrageously slow to respond.

In 2015, a call to 911 is a brand-new type of death sentence for black men and boys all over the country that must be addressed on a local and national level.

Here are five highlighted cases where calls to 911 caused four vibrant, innocent black men and boys to lose their lives and one grandfather from India, mistaken as a black man, to be left paralyzed—all at the hands of police paid to protect us.

One small town's police have killed more people than police in Germany and the UK combined (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/02/12/1363996/-Pasco-Washington-police-have-killed-more-people-than-police-in-Germany-the-UK-combined)

With just 59,000 residents (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasco,_Washington), the Pasco police department in Washington state have shot and killed four people in the past six months (http://www.king5.com/story/news/local/2015/02/11/witnesses-man-killed-by-pasco-police-running-from-officers/23256045/)—more than police in the entire United Kingdom, which has over 80,000,000 citizens, in the past three years combined.

In fact, Pasco police are on pace to have more police shootings than Germany (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-its-a-crime-that-we-dont-know-how-many-people-police-shoot-to-death/2014/12/01/adedcb00-7998-11e4-b821-503cc7efed9e_story.html), also with 80,000,000 citizens, over the current 12 month period.

On Tuesday, February 10, three Pasco police officers shot and killed an unarmed man who had been throwing rocks (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/02/11/1363768/--VIDEOS-Police-officers-unjustly-shoot-kill-man-who-was-only-throwing-rocks).

New NYPD Anti-Terror Unit Will Get Machine Guns To Police Protesters

Murders reached a historic low (http://gothamist.com/2015/01/01/nyc_murder_rate_drops_to_new_histor.php) in NYC for 2014; overall crime was down (http://gothamist.com/2014/12/03/crime_down_nyc.php) across the board by nearly 5%; hell, even the holiday slowdown (http://gothamist.com/tags/slowdown) didn't really lead to any additional crime. So clearly, now is the time when NYC really needs to implement a new anti-terrorism program which would empower a team of NYPD officers to roam around the city carrying machine guns. What could (http://gothamist.com/tags/ericgarner) go (http://gothamist.com/2015/01/21/video_nj_cop_shooting.php) wrong (http://gothamist.com/2014/11/21/unarmed_man_killed_cop.php)?

Police Commissioner Bratton made the announcement earlier today at an event hosted by the Police Foundation at the Mandarin Oriental. He said that the new 350 cop unit, called The Strategic Response Group, will be dedicated to "disorder control and counterterrorism protection capabilities" against attacks like the hostage situation in Sydney (http://gothamist.com/2014/12/16/nypd_remember_to_fear.php), which the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence John Miller said was an inevitability in NYC.

This new squad will be used to investigate and combat terrorist plots, lone wolf terrorists, and... protests. "It is designed for dealing with events like our recent protests, or incidents like Mumbai or what just happened in Paris," Bratton said, according to CBS. (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/01/29/bratton-unveils-plans-for-new-anti-terror-police-unit/)

"They’ll be equipped and trained in ways that our normal patrol officers are not," Bratton explained. "They’ll be equipped with all the extra heavy protective gear, with the long rifles and machine guns — unfortunately sometimes necessary in these instances." Capital NY adds (http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2015/01/8561171/bratton-plans-new-patrol-model) that these officers will also be used "to assist on crime scenes, and help with crowd control and other large-scale events."

http://gothamist.com/2015/01/29/nypd_machine_guns.php

Political, social dissenters, aka Freedom of Assembly, are, for the warrior cops, to be treated as terrorists, in the general national trend of criminalizing dissent.

NYPD tried to qualify Bratton's machine-gunning, terrorizing of dissent, but Bratton didn't make up that shit on the podium.

St. Louis Cops Turn Dash Cam Off in Middle of Arrest, Brutally Beat Suspect

Burkemper eventually pulls Bufford out of the car, and at least seven other officers get involved in the scene. One officer in the video is shown kicking Bufford when he is on the ground.

Bufford was also tased twice while on the ground. It appears there is no clear justification for using such force. Officer Kelli Swinton approaches Burkemper’s patrol car at 10:16pm and yells, “Hold up. Hold up, y’all. Hold up. Hold up, everybody, hold up. We’re red right now, so if you guys are worried about cameras, just wait.” The video ends eight second later.

The charges of resisting arrest and unlawful use of a weapon were dropped in August because the tape contradicted the police report,

he screwed up by waving a replica gun around in public

B.S. Couple of weeks ago i saw three kids in a residential area chasing each other with black guns. Its fairly common for kids to play with [realistic] toy guns. They didn't get killed and blamed for their deaths. At the very least the dispatcher should face charges for failing to relay the fact that it was probably a toy gun.

Cops pulled up in front of him and shot him, without giving him a warning. Never-mind the fact the police lied and said they warned him three times to put his hands up, in a span of 1 second.


"The DOJ investigation found a systemic pattern of reckless and inappropriate use of force by officers and concerns about their search-and-seizure practices. It also said officers frequently violate people's civil rights, blaming faulty tactics, inadequate training and a lack of supervision and accountability. The result is a deep mistrust of the city’s law enforcement authorities, especially in the black community, the report concluded."

The John Crawford murder was somehow even worse. He was murder walking around Walmart carrying a toy gun, pointed to the ground. He stopped an made a phone call for 10 minute with him leaning on the toy gun like it was a crutch. Someone called the police and said he aimed it at two kids. A plain clothes cop later shot him without warning.

A Court Put a 9-Year-Old in Shackles for Stealing Chewing Gum—an Outrage That Happens Every Single Day

http://www.motherjones.com/files/imagecache/top-of-content-main/neagle1.jpg

The nine-year-old stole (http://m.cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_3fca8362-b60d-568a-8dbf-ff9dc4575f20.html?mode=jqm) a 14-stick pack of Trident "Layers" chewing gum, Orchard Peach and Ripe Mango flavor, worth $1.48. He'd lingered by the beverage isle of the Super 1 Foods in Post Falls, Idaho, for a while before bailing out the front door. The theft led to a missed court appearance, which led to an arrest and a night spent in a juvenile jail. The next day, the third-grader appeared in court, chained and shackled.

At least 100,000 children are shackled in the US every year, according to estimates by David Shapiro, a campaign manager at the Campaign Against Indiscriminate Juvenile Shackling (http://njdc.info/campaign-against-indiscriminate-juvenile-shackling/). (Formal data on numbers of shackled kids does not exist.) As juvenile justice practices have grown more punitive (http://www.cjcj.org/education1/juvenile-justice-history.html) over the past several decades, shackling has become far more common (http://njdc.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Shackling-Inno-Brief-2013.pdf).

This month, the American Bar Association (ABA) passed a resolution (http://www.motherjones.com/documents/1668274-aba-resolution-opposing-the-shackling-of) calling for an end to this practice because it is harmful to juveniles (http://jjlp.law.ucdavis.edu/archives/vol-12-no-2/09_Article-Gallagher-Lore.pdf), largely unnecessary (http://www.pdmiami.com/unchainthechildren/Shackling_Update_December_2011.pdf) for courtroom safety—and contradicts existing law (https://law.resource.org/pub/us/case/reporter/US/544/544.US.622.04-5293.html). "We're not just talking handcuffs here. These kids are virtually hog-tied," says John D. Elliott, a South Carolina defense attorney who worked on the resolution. "The only difference is their hands are in front."

The restraints—which include handcuffs, belly chains, and leg irons—are used on kids of all ages and often don't fit the severity of their crime: The majority of kids are in court for non-violent offenses (http://ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/court/qa06201.asp?qaDate=2011), like shoplifting or truancy.

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/courts-shackle-juvenile-children-aba

The only way to stop shackling kids is to pass laws, and Repugs will block all of them.

Sure, maybe, but that's the problem. Shooting is a first resort to some officers. Its a tough job, but when two cops pull up and shoot a 12 year old boy who was playing with a toy gun [didn't even have his gun raised], and they even didn't give him orders to put his hands up. Thats laughable. the cops lied. Even when they get caught in a lie, they skate with no reprimand.

Houston PD conceals Stingray use details from prosecutors, citing NDA; warrant for cell-phone location data bill filed

"For about seven years, the Houston Police Department has owned devices that can trick your cellphone into sharing its location and call log by pretending to be a cell tower," reported Karen Chen (http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/ACLU-and-others-want-to-know-more-about-cell-6106414.php) at the Houston Chronicle (Feb. 27).


But little is known about how they are deployed, only what they are capable of: telling law enforcement where you are and to whom you've been talking.

In Texas, police are not required to obtain a warrant before using a Stingray, and the net is indiscriminate. The devices sweep up all nearby information, regardless of whether the cellphone is involved in a crime.

Your correspondent was quoted briefly in the story. The most interesting news was something told to me several weeks ago by the Harris DA's office, but made public in this story for the first time: That the Houston PD refuses to tell even the District Attorney's office, much less local judges, what they're doing with this technology, citing a non-disclosure agreement with the Harris Corporation which makes the device.


Harris County prosecutor Bill Exley said the arrangement doesn't put people's minds at ease. As far as he is aware, Stingrays do not amount to wiretaps, which reveal the content of what's being communicated. That said, Exley said, the nondisclosure agreement has prevented him, too, from knowing what exactly Stingrays are capable of or being used for. He said he has never offered evidence in court that was produced by a Stingray.

HPD has told him that Stingrays are most useful in catching fugitives.

"If there's a warrant for your arrest, the cops should be able to do anything lawful to find you," Exley said. "The question becomes, at what level do you start requiring police officers to ask judges so they can do things they are otherwise legally able to do?"

Exley said as far as he knows the Stingrays aren't wiretapping. But the truth is, the Stingray captures private calls and routes them through a fake cell phone tower operated by the police, and that includes call content as well as metadata. So we have nothing but HPD's say so to support the assertion that they're not accessing content, it's not because the technology they have isn't capable of doing so. If "trust us, we're the government" is good enough for you, you ought to be okay with this.

Someone at the NYPD has been editing Eric Garner’s Wikipedia page

Reports from Capital New York indicate NYPD computers edited a number of controversial entries

Wikipedia entries for several high-profile victims of police brutality and misconduct have been edited by computers from the New York Police Department’s network, according to Capital New York. The entries include descriptions of the death of Eric Garner (http://www.salon.com/2014/12/03/ny_cops_will_not_be_indicted_for_eric_garner_choke hold_death/), Sean Bell (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/queens/police-involved-sean-bell-shooting-canned-article-1.1050169)and Amadou Diallo (http://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/05/nyregion/officers-in-bronx-fire-41-shots-and-an-unarmed-man-is-killed.html), as well as general entries on stop-and-frisk and other NYPD controversies.

“The matter is under internal review,” said NYPD spokesperson, Det. Cheryl Crispin, in an email to Capital New York.

The edits all improve the legitimacy of police actions. For instance, on the “Death of Eric Garner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner)” Wikipedia entry, “Garner raised both his arms in the air” was changed to “Garner flailed his arms about as he spoke,” and the sentence “Garner, who was considerably larger than any of the officers, continued to struggle with them,” was added.

11 year old suspended for a year for possessing a ‘leaf’ that repeatedly tested negative for pot

An 11-year-old Virginia boy was suspended for 364 days after being caught in possession of a leaf that, as it turned out, repeatedly tested negative for marijuana, The Roanoke Times‘ Dan Casey reports (http://www.roanoke.com/news/columns_and_blogs/columns/dan_casey/casey-not-pot-gets-th-grader-in-big-trouble/article_67dc2868-0f0a-53c0-96ad-595a88391aa3.html).Last September, officials at Bedford Middle School learned of a rumor that a student was bragging about having marijuana.

When the vice principal searched the student, he found a lighter and a “leaf” in the boy’s backpack, and in accordance with the school’s “zero tolerance” policy — which applies to both actual and “lookalike” or “imitation” drugs — suspended the boy for a year.

The vice principal and school resource officer also contacted the police, who filed marijuana possession charges against the 11-year-old.
However, when the prosecutor had the “leaf” tested — on three separate occasions — the tests came back negative for marijuana.

CIA Worked With DOJ To Re-Purpose Foreign Surveillance Airborne Cell Tower Spoofers For Domestic Use

The CIA's recent rebranding as Valhalla for US cyberwarriors notwithstanding (http://www.wired.com/2015/03/cias-new-directorate-makes-cyberespionage-top-priority/), the agency's general focus has been intelligence gathering on foreign governments, corporations and people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency). That it has often mistaken "torturing people into saying whatever they can (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20141209/11493929372/cia-program-tortured-dozens-to-produce-nearly-nothing-way-useful-intelligence.shtml) to make it stop" for "intelligence gathering" isn't necessarily germane to the following discussion, but it's worth noting that the CIA is almost single-handedly responsible for destroying the term "extraordinary rendition (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140402/07200926776/some-senators-finally-willing-to-call-cias-torture-program-torture.shtml)" -- a formerly innocuous (and complimentary) term previously used to highlight something like, say, Johnny Cash's amazing cover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtbuUlSGXzc) of Soundgarden's' "Rusty Cage." (That Cash's two best covers are "Hurt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aF9AJm0RFc)" and "Rusty Cage" is not germane to the discussion of CIA torture programs, but what a coincidence!)

But the emphasis here is foreign. Which is why the following news makes so little sense (http://www.wsj.com/articles/cia-gave-justice-department-secret-phone-scanning-technology-1426009924).


The Central Intelligence Agency played a crucial role in helping the Justice Department develop technology that scans data from thousands of U.S. cellphones at a time, part of a secret high-tech alliance between the spy agency and domestic law enforcement, according to people familiar with the work.

The CIA and the U.S. Marshals Service, an agency of the Justice Department, developed technology to locate specific cellphones in the U.S. through an airborne device that mimics a cellphone tower, these people said.

"These people" are likely keeping both eyes on their backs at this point, considering this revelation sheds more light on two things both agencies would like to keep in permanent darkness: the CIA's involvement in domestic surveillance (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140630/12101627734/fbi-cia-also-make-use-backdoor-searches-nsa-data-to-access-us-communications-without-warrant.shtml) and the US Marshals' airborne "dirtboxes," (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20141113/16292029131/feds-put-fake-cell-towers-planes-spied-tons-innocent-americans.shtml) which are hoovering up tons of phone call info using high-flying IMSI catchers.

Cop Actually Stopped Other Cops From Beating Guy Up! (Then Got Fired.)

It took a couple of years, but there’s finally been a bit of justice done in Bogota, New Jersey, where a judge has ordered the police department to reinstate, (http://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2015/03/judge_rules_bogota_must_reinstate_first_female_pol .html) with back pay, Regina Tasca, a genuinely good cop who was fired in 2012 after stopping two fellow officers, who were fellows, from beating the living crap out of a mentally ill man (http://wonkette.com/470325/hero-lady-cop-will-probably-be-fired-for-stopping-police-beatdown-because-duh) who only needed to be taken to a hospital. Instead of getting a commendation for excellence in serving the community, Tasca was suspended and ultimately fired for being “psychologically unfit.” Here’s what happened back in 2012:

The black-and-white tape captures it all — a mother, Tara, screaming for police to stop punching her son on their front lawn. She had called to have her emotionally disturbed son Kyle taken to the hospital. Bogota police responded while waiting for the ambulance. Tasca was the sole officer on the road that day, so she called for back-up according to protocol. Ridgefield Park police then sent two officers. Tasca had just completed her state-mandated training for working with emotionally disturbed citizens.

Tasca described what we see on the videotape: “The Ridgefield Park officer automatically charges and takes him down to the ground. I was quite shocked. As he’s doing that, another Ridgefield Park officer flies to the scene in his car, jumps out and starts punching him in the head.”

I was a skeptic. But when the bullet entry points were shown, I started doubting.
All I want is the truth. And the truth appears to be the opposite of what Ferguson protesters "knew".
You don't tie a legitimate movement to a lie. Some people don't get this apparently.

The article is a good one. Apparently some are unwilling to come out and say this as it might taint the general theme (which the author thinks is exactly wrong). That slogan leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. And For good reason.

Judicial Committee Gives FBI The First OK It Needs To Hack Any Computer, Anywhere On The Planet
the agencies are one step closer to being legally permitted to hack nearly any computer in the world (http://www.nationaljournal.com/tech/fbi-s-plan-to-expand-hacking-power-advances-despite-privacy-fears-20150316).

A judicial advisory panel Monday quietly approved a rule change that will broaden the FBI's hacking authority despite fears raised by Google that the amended language represents a "monumental" constitutional concern.

The Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Criminal Rules voted 11-1 to modify an arcane federal rule to allow judges more flexibility in how they approve search warrants for electronic data, according to a Justice Department spokesman.No longer bound by physical jurisdictions, the FBI will be able to perform remote searches (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20140916/17495228543/doj-proposal-would-let-fbi-hack-into-computers-overseas-with-little-oversight.shtml) all over the globe. This is its "21st century" fix -- a permission slip to implant malicious software in any computer, located anywhere, in order to track suspected criminals. That performing these actions may strain international relationships or break local laws is just the acceptable collateral damage inherent to modern-day crimefighting.

There's still plenty of time left before it goes into effect, and several chances that this rule change might be found to be just as potentially damaging -- both to the Fourth Amendment and rights of citizens in other nations -- as tech companies (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150221/19524830103/google-blasts-dojs-request-expanded-search-powers-calls-proposal-threat-to-fourth-amendment.shtml) and privacy advocates are portraying it.
The judicial advisory committee's vote is only the first of several stamps of approval required within the federal judicial branch before the the rule change can formally take place—a process that will likely take over a year. The proposal is now subject to review (http://www.uscourts.gov/RulesAndPolicies/rules/about-rulemaking/how-rulemaking-process-works/overview-bench-bar-public.aspx) by the Standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure, which normally can approve amendments at its June meeting. The Judicial Conference is next in line to approve the rule, a move that would likely occur in September.

The Supreme Court would have until May 1, 2016 to review and accept the amendment, which Congress would then have seven months to reject, modify or defer. Absent any congressional action, the rule would take place on Dec. 1, 2016.

‘Poor training’ resulted in almost 400 shootings by Philadelphia police – Justice Dept


Poor training led Philadelphia police officers to the mistaken belief that fearing for their lives alone justified the use of deadly force, a new Justice Department review has found. That fear resulted in 394 shootings over a seven-year period.

The 'Assessment of Deadly Force in the Philadelphia Police Department,' released (http://ric-zai-inc.com/Publications/cops-w0753-pub.pdf) Monday, came with 48 findings and 91 recommendations by the Justice Department.

It found that 81 percent of the victims of officer-involved shootings were African-American men in their twenties;

59 percent of the shootings were carried out by white officers;

and most shootings occurred in majority black neighborhoods.

Those neighborhoods in northern Philadelphia were also police districts with the highest patterns of gun violence and homicides.

Teen Was Kept In Solitary Confinement For 143 Days Before Even Facing Trial (http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/03/28/3640234/teen-kept-solitary-confinement-143-days-even-facing-trial/)

A federal review conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice found that Baltimore City Detention Center was illegally putting teens in psychologically damaging solitary confinement as they awaited trial for adult charges. One detainee was kept in solitary confinement for 143 days.

The report, released on Friday, found (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/8e4d7ff1c53a44fc8b0c7d1ce23b017e/feds-baltimore-jail-illegally-keeping-juveniles-solitary) that in addition to a detainee identified as RC who was detained for 143 days, another detainee, EM, spent 53 of the 105 days spent in detention in solitary. Furthermore, the rules at the facility mandated that violators must spend 7 to 14 days for a first offense and must wait around 80 days for a disciplinary review.

The DOJ review found that though the detention center, put under federal review for previous civil rights violations, was still violating state and federal law by exceeding the limits for solitary confinement, failing to provide teens with drugs and other prescribed treatments, and some detainees were even denied the right to exercise. They also concluded that many of the staff were poorly trained.

“This is grossly excessive and violates basic principles of Due Process,” the Justice Department report read (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/8e4d7ff1c53a44fc8b0c7d1ce23b017e/feds-baltimore-jail-illegally-keeping-juveniles-solitary). “It is even more troubling for the 24 percent of juveniles in seclusion who are ultimately found not guilty under the disciplinary process.”

Does lack of police action count as enough to post in this thread?

http://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/regional/artikel.php?ID=352454

Two suspected robbers believed to be in their mid twenties, were set ablaze Monday morning after they were severely beaten by some angry residents of Ayigya Zongo, near the Affordable Housing Project in Kumasi.

The suspects were allegedly caught red-handed at about 4am when they attempted to snatch a laptop and a cell phone from a student at gunpoint.

The residents defended what has become known as 'instance justice' in Ghana because they do not trust the police, and that anytime a suspected robber is arrested, he is set free after a few days.

But the police has often denied these claims saying they follow legal procedures in prosecuting suspects.

The residents have vowed to lynch any suspected armed robber since they are terrorizing them on daily basis.

In a graphic video available to tv3network.com, the suspected robbers were seen pleading for clemency but were not spared.

While many residents looked on helplessly begging for the suspects, a few courageous men mercilessly battered the suspects with various deadly weapons as they bled profusely.

As they became unconscious, the angry residents did not end there.


Two men were seen lighting a match stick on the suspects after they had poured a substance believed to be petrol on them.

They claim, their action is to deter others from engaging in robbery activities and find themselves decent jobs to earn income.

Several residents around the Affordable Housing Project say they have been terrorized by suspected robbers at least in the last one month.

The Ashanti Regional capital Kumasi, is noted for several of such cases where suspected robbers are lynched by residents who believe the police has failed to effectively protect them.

Human rights activists have mostly condemned the canker and have advocated the prosecution of persons who take the law into their own hands.

But the police rarely prosecutes people for such offenses since in most cases, the perpetrators are often not found out after carrying out such heinous crimes.

Kumasi, which is Ghana's second largest city, also records a high number of criminal cases although the police in recent months have made several arrests.

The FBI Has Its Own Secret Brand of Malware (http://gizmodo.com/the-fbi-has-its-own-secret-brand-of-malware-1694821520)

US Department of Justice is pushing for policy changes that’ll allow the FBI to install spyware on citizens’ computers (http://gizmodo.com/the-doj-is-sneaking-in-a-policy-thatd-crap-all-over-the-1692253192#_ga=1.136561206.722904430.1427910024) even more easily, it’s time to take a closer look.
Malware is a broad term for malicious computer code like viruses and Trojan horses. It’s called spyware when it’s used to snoop on and track someone else’s digital behavior without their knowledge. Thieves like it because it’s an easy route to gain enough information on someone to leech off their bank accounts or steal their identity. The FBI likes it because it can help pinpoint people crouching behind their keyboards to commit crimes.

The FBI’s bespoke surveillance malware—called Computer and IP Address Verifier (CIPAV)—is designed to track criminal suspects by logging their IP address, MAC address, computer programs running, operating system details, browser details, and other identifying computer information.

As far as spyware goes, it’s unusually circumscribed :lol yeah, right! —unlike consumer keylogging and social media snooping (http://gizmodo.com/how-the-hell-are-these-popular-spying-apps-not-illegal-1682660414) surveillance tools, CIPAV isn’t able to spy on the entire computer at will, just a narrow list of identifiers. That means it’s a weirdly weak invader, but that’s a deliberate, built-in privacy protection, a way to keep the FBI’s spyware ostensibly legal.

Despite limitations, the FBI’s spyware capabilities are hugely powerful. As the Washington Post pointed out (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/technology/2013/12/06/352ba174-5397-11e3-9e2c-e1d01116fd98_story.html):

The most powerful FBI surveillance software can covertly download files, photographs and stored e-mails, or even gather real-time images by activating cameras connected to computers, say court documents and people familiar with this technology.

Philly and PA cops murdering a black by ignoring his health problems?

If Mumia Abu-Jamal Dies, or Is Already Dead, Isn't That State Murder?

http://readersupportednews.org/images/stories/alphabet/rsn-W.jpghen a brilliant, articulate, truth-telling 60-year-old black man is being traduced and apparently tortured to death by Pennsylvania government authorities, why aren’t you learning about this unprincipled official malfeasance from most of the mainstream media?

The simple answer is that, in America, it’s still dangerous to be a brilliant, articulate, truth-telling black man. The slightly more complicated answer is that, in America, it’s even more dangerous to be Mumia Abu-Jamal and to be still insisting on your innocence even though you’ve been convicted in an absurdly biased trial that was more like a lynching for killing a cop in 1981, as Amnesty International reported (http://www.amnestyusa.org/news/press-releases/amnesty-international-welcomes-decision-on-mumia-abu-jamal-case) in 2011:

Mumia Abu-Jamal’s trial featured the dismissal of African American jurors, inadequate defense representation, an openly hostile judge, the use of political statements to argue for a death sentence, and law enforcement’s unseemly agitation for execution throughout the entire process….

Given these fundamental flaws, it would have been unconscionable to put a Mumia Abu-Jamal to death.


The dead cop in the case was working undercover to expose very real and chronic police corruption in Philadelphia. No one had a stronger motive for killing Daniel Faulkner than some of his fellow cops. The analysis by means-motive-opportunity fits the responding police officers far better than Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook). But if there was ever any investigation of the cops, it’s not widely known.

The state decision-makers knew who they wanted for their defendant and they pursued him doggedly till they got him to death row. Then the U.S. Supreme Court intervened and told the state it had no lawful right to kill Mumia. Years later, Pennsylvania’s official rage remains unassuaged, as officials blame Mumia for the state’s own miscarrying of justice.

Now it appears that the state, through its prison system, could be carrying out the death penalty by other means: allowing Mumia’s medical caretakers to execute him by neglect.

US Border Patrol is out of control

The two agents allegedly stole from a home while executing an agency-authorized search warrant. The case exemplifies the type of unchecked abuse and corruption that has become so rampant within the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

From 2010 to 2014 CBP agents shot and killed (http://www.revealnews.org/article-legacy/lawmaker-calls-for-new-investigations-into-border-agent-fatal-shootings/) 28 people. Other charges against CBP agents included drug trafficking, theft, assaults, kidnapping and rape

Sometimes CBP officers step into the path of moving cars to justify shooting the drivers as a “response to deadly force.”

The new agency now has more than 60,000 employees (http://cironline.org/reports/border-agency-report-reveals-internal-struggles-corruption-4126), a $12.4 billion annual budget and a reputation for corruption and abuse. On average, at least one agent is arrested daily for misconduct,according to Politico (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/10/border-patrol-the-green-monster-112220_Page2.html#.VQ8wOTTF880) Magazine’s Garrett M. Graff.

“[Illegal entry] is now less than a third of what it was in the year 2000, and it’s at its lowest level since the 1970s,” Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson (http://www.dhs.gov/news/2014/10/09/remarks-secretary-homeland-security-jeh-johnson-border-security-21st-century) said in October. The estimated number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has dropped by more than a million since 2006. Yet throwing money at CBP remains a way for Congress to boast of protecting borders and getting tough on immigration. The agency continues to grow, with 2,000 new jobs listed in 2014.

CBP’s record on corruption and abuse is appalling. The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) has documented cases of excessive force, drug smuggling, theft and numerous other abuses (http://bordercorruption.apps.cironline.org/). “Between 5 and 10 percent of border agents and officers are actively corrupt or were at some point in their career,”

CBP’s problems start at the top. While Congress was happy to appropriate money for enforcement and more officers, it balked at confirming CBP commissioners, leaving the agency without a confirmed commissioner for five years.

These 13 outrageous acts by drug war cops all happened within the last week


In Fresno, California, the Fresno deputy police chief was arrested last Thursday (http://abc30.com/news/fresno-deputy-police-chief-keith-foster-3-others-arrested-on-drug-charges/574954/) as part of a federal drug conspiracy investigation. Deputy Chief Keith Foster, 51, went down after a year-long undercover investigation by the FBI and BATF. Few details are known except for the charges: possession and distribution of heroin, oxycodone, and marijuana. He has been placed on administrative leave.

In Chattanooga, Tennessee, a Catoosa County sheriff’s deputy was arrested last Thursday (http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2015/mar/27/catoosa-county-deputy-arrested-pill-stealing-charges-put-unpaid-leave/295707/) after an acquaintance called police to say he had stolen prescription drugs from him. Deputy Joshua Wilson is charged with possession of hydrocodone and tramadol, unauthorized distribution of a controlled substance, and violating the oath of an officer.

He had the drugs in his vehicle when he was pulled over in a traffic stop.

In Prescott Valley, Arizona, a former Prescott Valley Police commander was arrested last Thursday (http://dcourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=143482) on charges he was stealing drugs discarded by the public as part of a drug take-back program. Commander Arthur Eskew, a 20-year veteran, resigned in January after a motion-activated still camera and hidden video camera in the evidence room caught him pocketing pills. Now he faces criminal charges, although those haven’t been specified.

In North Haverhill, New Hampshire, a former Grafton County jail guard was arrested last Thursday (http://www.wptz.com/news/former-corrections-officer-arrested-on-heroin-charges/32087478) on charges he delivered heroin to prisoners. Michael Baraa, 29, faces two charges, but they weren’t specified.

In Huntsville, Tennessee, a former Scott County sheriff’s deputy was arrested Tuesday (http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/scott-campbell-morgan/2015/03/31/scott-county-deputy-misconduct/70748616/) for allegedly breaking into the evidence room and stealing drugs. Cody Scott Yancy, 25, is charged with three counts of burglary, theft under $500, possession of burglary tools, official misconduct, tampering with evidence, and two counts of vandalism under $500. He was fired after an investigation into the thefts last fall.

In Miami, a former NYPD officer pleaded guilty last Friday (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/crime/fl-nyc-cop-pleads-guilty-20150327-story.html) to traveling to Florida and providing security for a $200,000 cocaine deal that turned out to be a federal drug sting. Phillip LeRoy, 28, copped to one count of drug trafficking conspiracy. He’s looking at 10 years to life in federal prison.

In Washington, Pennsylvania, a former state court judge pleaded guilty last Friday (http://www.adn.com/article/20150325/former-pa-judge-now-living-alaska-pleads-guilty-missing-cocaine-case) to stealing cocaine that he had ordered police to keep in his chambers instead of the evidence room. Former Washington County Judge Paul Pozonsky copped to theft by unlawful taking, obstruction of the administration of law, and misapplication of entrusted property. In return, prosecutors dropped one felony and one misdemeanor count. Pozonsky supposedly took the drug for his own use. He’s looking at up to two years in jail when sentenced in July.

In Washington, DC, a former FBI agent pleaded guilty Monday (http://wtop.com/dc/2015/03/former-fbi-agent-pleads-guilty-to-taking-drugs-from-evidence-bags) to charges related to stealing heroin from evidence bags. Matthew Lowry, 33, admitted stealing the smack and using it himself, as well as trying to replace it with other substances and falsifying records to hide his misdeeds. He said he had been strung out on pain pills. He copped to 38 counts of obstruction of justice, 13 counts of conversion of property, and 13 counts of heroin possession. Because of Lowy’s hand in the cookie jar, prosecutors have had to throw out dozens of drug cases.

In Las Cruces, New Mexico, a former Dona Ana County jail guard pleaded guilty Tuesday (http://www.kob.com/article/stories/s3752421.shtml#.VRxD4_nF9ic) to plotting to distribute heroin, cocaine, and meth within the jail. Francisco Balderrama, 27, copped to conspiracy to distribute narcotics and providing contraband in a prison facility. He’s now looking at up to 20 years in federal prison.

In Miami, a former Miami-Dade police internal affairs lieutenant pleaded guilty Tuesday (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article17023253.html) to working with cocaine smugglers to smuggle guns through airport security. Ralph Mata worked in the department’s internal affairs division, but helped cocaine smugglers get guns through Miami International Airport, helped plot the execution of two rival drug dealers, provided secret intelligence to the group, and suggested ways to better smuggle dope through the city. He copped to three counts, including aiding and abetting a narcotics conspiracy. He’s looking at 10 years to life in federal prison.

In Birmingham, Alabama, a former Winston County sheriff’s deputy was sentenced last Friday (http://www.cullmantimes.com/news/former-winston-county-deputy-sentenced-in-meth-extortion-case/article_23f6fdfc-d4fd-11e4-97b4-af4307948d5e.html) to nearly four years in federal prison for threatening a woman with an arrest warrant unless she agreed to cook meth for him. Grady Concord, 42, also supplied the woman with the precursor ingredient pseudoephedrine, which he stole from the department evidence room. He copped to one count of manufacturing meth on a premise where children were present.

In Bridgeton, New Jersey, a former Bayside State Prison guard was sentenced Tuesday (http://www.thedailyjournal.com/story/news/local/2015/03/31/former-prison-officer-sentenced-drug-dealing/70726916/) to seven years in state prison for selling drugs to inmates. Nazir Bey, 30, was found guilty by a jury of second-degree official misconduct for selling heroin to an inmate at the prison.

In Titusville, Florida, a former Titusville police officer was sentenced Tuesday (http://www.wesh.com/news/former-titusville-cop-sentenced-to-10-years-for-dealing-cocaine/32108272) to 10 years in federal prison for arranging drug deals. Richard Irizarry, a five-year veteran of the force admitted to giving out information on his department’s drug investigations to traffickers in return for cash. He was convicted in January of attempting to aid and abet the distribution of cocaine, possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug distribution and using a telephone to facilitate drug distribution.

Government Keeps Its Eyes on the Road with Invasive License Plate Reader Program

On April 2, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a Privacy Impact Assessment (http://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/privacy-pia-ice-lpr-march2015.pdf) (PIA) that describes how the DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – including ICE’s primary investigative offices, Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations – will find the present and past location of drivers by accessing a massive private database of vehicle location information. The program raises serious privacy concerns, with the specter of individuals’ location data being collected on a mass scale, stored for a prolonged period, and used without effective restrictions.

According to the PIA, both fixed and mobile license plate readers record license plate number, a digital image of the license plate, the vehicle’s make, model, and state of registration, GPS location, a time stamp, and sometimes “the environment surrounding a vehicle, which may include drivers and passengers.”

Queries can uncover all recorded sightings of a license plate for the previous five years, or as far back as the statute of limitations for the crime being investigated.

The program also appears to circumvent an important developing legal norm regarding location privacy.

As a result of court rulings and legislative action, 12 states now require a warrant for police to demand location data generated in connection with use of a wireless communication device.

This rapid trend as well as the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in U.S. v. Jones indicates the entire country may soon follow this rule. The government’s response to such an expansion of Fourth Amendment rights cannot be to evade the requirement of independent review by mining license plate location information maintained by a third party; it should have to obtain a warrant or other judicial authorization in order to do so.

Poor People's Dogs Killed Unless They Pay Outrageous Fines

the story of Gerilynn Aflleje, a California resident who had her 4-year-old Siberian Husky mix killed after she was unable to pay a $180 fine to a local animal shelter. The dog was dropped off at the Stockton shelter after getting lost. The shelter told Aflleje she had 24 hours to come with the money, an impossible task for the unemployed woman. The dog was put to death after she failed to scrape together the fine before the deadline.

Across the country, animal control agencies seem to be targeting low-income pet owners and applying massive fines to small infractions. Elizabeth Vasquez claims that her two dogs were actually in her backyard when animal control officers picked up her dogs for being loose in the neighborhood. The low-income Indio, California resident was able to use grocery money to get one of her dogs back, but the second one was killed before she could save another $200.

Mary Root is an 82-year-old woman from Havre de Grace, Maryland. She was fined $525 after a neighbor complained that her Chihuahuas were loose in the neighborhood.

On a fixed income, Root couldn't afford the fines and a medical situation forced her to miss a court hearing on the situation. A warrant was taken out for Root's arrest and she was jailed for two days in March.

Root was presented with the option of paying over $7,000 in fines or spending an entire year in jail. Fortunately a local resident heard Root's story and helped bail her out. A pro bono attorney assisted her in lowering the fine and her church helped her pay the fee.

As part of their investigation into corruption charges, the FBI had obtained copies of Furminger’s phone records including, most notably, his text messages.

What was contained in the messages made the corruption problems pale in comparison:




“We got two blacks at my boys [sic] school and they are brother and sister! There cause dad works for the school district and I am watching them like hawks.”
In response to a text asking, “Do you celebrate quanza [sic] at your school?” Furminger wrote: “Yeah we burn the cross on the field! Then we celebrate Whitemas.”
“Its [sic] worth every penny to live here [Walnut Creek] away from the savages.”
“Those guys are pretty stupid! Ask some dumb ass questions you would expect from a black rookie! Sorry if they are your buddies!”
“The buffalo soldier was why the Indians Wouldnt [sic] shoot the ******s that found for the confederate They [sic] thought they were sacred buffalo and not human.”
“Gunther Furminger was a famous slave auctioneer.”
“My wife has 2 friends over that don't know each other the cool one says to me get me a drink ****** not knowing the other is married to one just happened right now LMFAO.”
“White power.”
In response to a text saying “******s should be spayed,” Furminger wrote, “I saw one an hour ago with 4 kids.”
“I am leaving it like it is, painting KKK on the sides and calling it a day!”
“Cross burning lowers blood pressure! I did the test myself!”
In response to a text saying “All ******s must fucking hang,” Furminger wrote, “Ask my 6 year old what he thinks about Obama.”
In response to a text saying “Just boarded train at Mission/16th,” Furminger wrote, “Ok, just watch out for BM’s .”
In response to a text from another SFPD officer regarding the promotion of a black officer to sergeant, Furminger wrote: “Fuckin ******.”


[B]
It’s Not Against the Law to Put an Animal Down

There was yet another exchange: Furminger comments to another SFPD officer, “I hate to tell you this but my wife friend [sic] is over with their kids and her husband is black! If [sic] is an Attorney but should I be worried?” The other officer responds, “Get ur pocket gun. Keep it available in case the monkey returns to his roots. Its [sic] not against the law to put an animal down.” To which Furminger responds, “Well said!”

The reality is that it really isn’t against the law to put an animal, or a human being defined as an animal, down as long as it is the law doing it.

video of the lavall hall shooting. lavall was a 25 year old mentally ill man. his mother called 911 to assist her in getting him to a mental hospital.
Newly released video of a fatal police shooting in Miami Gardens, Fl. shows the victim’s mother pleading with officers before they kill her mentally ill son.

“Don’t hurt my child,” the mother is heard saying. A lawyer for the family said the officers can be heard mocking her in the video as well.

Video reviewed by Fusion shows no struggle between officers and Lavall Hall, 25, as shots were fired. One officer yelled “get on the fucking ground or you’re dead” before firing five shots at Hall.

It is the second graphic video of a police shooting in two days, coming after footage was released of a North Charleston, South Carolina officer shooting a black man in the back, on Tuesday.

Nineteen minutes of video depicting Hall’s shooting was made public today by the family, after a months-long fight to release the dashcam video from a police cruiser.

Hall’s mother had called police to help take her son to a mental hospital. He was having a schizophrenic episode, during which he had threatened her with a broomstick. She had called the police only a week earlier to do the same.

“I was so devastated to see that it happened like that,” Catherine Daniels, Hall’s mother, said of the video at a press conference on Wednesday.

“There’s no question when you see this video that the officers used excessive force in dealing with an individual who had mental issues,” family attorney Glen Goldberg told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday. He acknowledged much of the nation’s attention is focused the graphic footage of the South Carolina shooting of Walter Scott.

Walter Scott Was Not the Only One—North Charleston Police Have Stunning Record of Abuse

The above account comes from just one of the many federal lawsuits filed against the North Charleston Police Department over the last 10 years.

It’s hardly surprising that Slager remained un-prosecuted prior to the release of the video: South Carolina police have fired on 209 suspects over the past five years, but only a few have been charged and none have ever been convicted, according to The State (http://www.thestate.com/news/local/crime/article15654974.html), a South Carolina newspaper.

Based on a review of public records, the North Charleston Police Department has been sued 46 times since 2000 in federal court alone. Many of the suits have been unsuccessful. Some were written by hand from jail and immediately thrown out. Others ran into trouble over evidentiary and procedural obstacles.

Taken together, however, the legal documents present a stunning account of police brutality in North Charleston, where the population is 47 percent black but the police force is about 80 percent white, according to the Times.

What follows are just a handful of the accusations of police brutality made against the North Charleston Police Department over the last 15 years,

S.C. Officer Justin Craven Faces Felony Charge For Fatally Shooting Unarmed Black Man In His Driveway

Justin Gregory Craven, 25, was arrested on suspicion of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, according to the state's Law Enforcement Division (http://www.sled.state.sc.us/CISystem/Images/NewsPress/SNP0803.pdf).

The North Augusta public safety officer is accused of shooting and killing 68-year-old Ernest Satterwhite in his driveway on Feb. 9, 2014, during a traffic stop. Craven fired repeatedly through the driver-side door of Satterwhite's car after the victim had fully stopped in his driveway (http://www.edgefielddaily.com/cl021114.html),

San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies appeared to use a Taser to stun a man and then beat him after he allegedly led police on a pursuit involving a vehicle and stolen horse in San Bernardino County Thursday afternoon.
Aerial footage captured by NewsChopper4 showed the man falling off the horse, and then being stunned with a Taser by a sheriff's deputy. The man then appeared to fall to the ground with his arms outstretched. Two deputies immediately descended on him and began punching him in the head and kneeing him in the groin.
Driver Surrenders After Police Pursuit
The group surrounding the man grew up to 13 sheriff's deputies as several appeared to kick, hit, and punch him dozens of times over a two-minute period. In the two minutes after the man was stunned with a Taser, it appeared deputies kicked him 17 times and punched him 37 times. It appeared deputies used batons four times. Thirteen blows appeared to be to the head. The allegedly stolen horse stood idly nearby.
"The video surrounding this arrest is disturbing and I have ordered an internal investigation be conducted immediately," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said in a statement.

What Happens When Police Confront Belligerant People Who Aren't Black


erformers and the police that left one person dead.

The encounter, which took place in the parking lot of a Walmart last month, involved Cottonwood police asking the Gaver family about an alleged assault of a Walmart employee. There were four cops and roughly eight members of the family present.

Needless to say, things escalated, and a fight broke out. One of the officers was hit by a bullet and another was put in a headlock. David Gaver was shot in the stomach and 21-year-old Enoch Gaver was killed.

According to the police chief, Enoch Gaver had taken an officer’s gun and shot him, and another officer tried to hit him with a baton, but when that didn’t stop him, he just shot Gaver with his gun.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I call it “testi-lying.” It has been a regular practice in police forces across the United States, at least since I served on the NYPD: official testimony that is made part of a police after-action report but is a pure lie, an invention. In the old days police would carry a “drop gun” or a “drop knife”—an inexpensive weapon cops would bring along on patrol to drop onto or next to a suspect they had taken out so they could say he had threatened them. Today you don’t even need to do that; all you have to do to justify the use of deadly force if you are a police officer is to say that you feared for your life, for whatever reason. If the victim dies, that just means there will be one less witness around to contradict the testi-lie.

In the case of former Officer Michael Slager of the North Charleston police, it appears he was being extra-careful to cover his tracks. Probably he could have gotten away with simply declaring, as he did in his radioed report, that Walter Scott “took my Taser,” and in the after-action report he would have said simply that he had felt threatened by Scott. That probably would have sufficed to exonerate him. But Slager, having shot Scott eight times in the back—as everyone can plainly see in the now-famous video—perhaps felt that he needed a little help explaining what he was up to. So he apparently dropped his Taser next to Scott’s body, which would obviously help to make the case that Scott “took my Taser.”

If you think that what happened in North Charleston is a unique case, it is not. Only recently, in another case, a policewoman in Pennsylvania first Tasered a black man, then shot him twice in the back as he lay face down in the snow. She was chasing him for an expired parking sticker. There were five seconds between shots. She said she feared for her life. It was captured on her own Taser camera.

I’ve been saying this for a long time, ever since I spoke before the Knapp Commission investigating corruption in the NYPD more than 40 years ago: Unless we create an atmosphere where the crooked cop fears the honest cop, and not the other way around, the system will never change. Unless honesty is rewarded more often than corruption, the police will lose credibility altogether. I wrote a letter to President Bill Clinton in 1994 addressing this very issue, saying that honest cops have never been rewarded, and maybe there ought to be a medal for them. He wrote back, but nothing changed.

Now, in the era of citizen videotaping, police credibility is at stake as never before. If enough testi-lying is uncovered, then who is going to believe the police even when they are telling the truth? They will be seen as crying wolf.

Until now, the shoot-first-in-fear-of-my-life mantra has eliminated any cause for concern in the taking of life by police. When a civilian commits a crime, every nuance is looked at, the better to “throw the book at” the suspect. When cops err, it is the opposite reaction. Eyes are averted, aggravating circumstances are ignored. And now the public is learning about this every time a new videotape emerges that undermines the official police story.

Thousands dead, few prosecuted

Among the thousands of fatal shootings at the hands of police since 2005, only 54 officers have been charged, a Post analysis found. Most were cleared or acquitted in the cases that have been resolved.

Brackney is among 54 officers charged over the past decade for fatally shooting someone while on duty, according to an analysis by The Washington Post and researchers at Bowling Green State University. This analysis, based on a wide range of public records and interviews with law enforcement, judicial and other legal experts, sought to identify for the first time every officer who faced charges* for such shootings since 2005. These represent a small fraction of the thousands of fatal police shootings that have occurred across the country in that time.

In an overwhelming majority of the cases where an officer was charged, the person killed was unarmed. But it usually took more than that.

When prosecutors pressed charges, The Post analysis found, there were typically other factors that made the case exceptional, including: a victim shot in the back, a video recording of the incident, incriminating testimony from other officers or allegations of a coverup.

“To charge an officer in a fatal shooting, it takes something so egregious, so over the top that it cannot be explained in any rational way,” said Philip M. Stinson, a criminologist at Bowling Green who studies arrests of police. “It also has to be a case that prosecutors are willing to hang their reputation on.”

But even in these most extreme instances, the majority of the officers whose cases have been resolved have not been convicted,

Among the officers charged since 2005 for fatal shootings, more than three-quarters were white. Two-thirds of their victims were minorities, all but two of them black.

Nearly all other cases* involved black officers who killed black victims. In one other instance, a Latino officer fatally shot a white person and in another an Asian officer killed a black person. There were a total of 49 victims.

These Apps Are Helping People Document Police Abuse

In an effort to protect that constitutional right, developers, in recent years, have been partnering with advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (https://www.aclu.org/) to develop smartphone apps aimed at making it easier for members of the public to document allegations of police abuse -- and to know their rights while doing so.

Below are some examples of such apps, including those in development and others that are already downloadable:

Deputy who killed man after mistaking gun for Taser is an insurance exec who pays to play cop

According to Tulsa World, Robert Bates, 73, who made the fatal mistake that cost a man his life, is a local insurance company executive who has donated multiple vehicles, weapons, and stun guns to the Sheriff’s Office since becoming a reserve deputy in 2008.

Bates is responsible for the death of Eric Harris, when he attempted to assist in the arrest of Harris as he struggled on the ground with Tulsa sheriff’s deputies. Bates shot Harris with his service weapon believing he had pulled his Taser.

Report confirms that police killed Natasha McKenna with her hands cuffed and legs shackled (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/13/1377417/-Report-confirms-that-police-killed-Natasha-McKenna-with-her-hands-cuffed-and-legs-shackled)


A mentally ill woman who died after a stun gun was used on her at the Fairfax County jail in February was restrained with handcuffs behind her back, leg shackles and a mask when a sheriff’s deputy shocked her four times, incident reports obtained by The Washington Post show.

This woman was Natasha McKenna, a petite mother of a young child. Any explanation as to why it was acceptable to use a Taser four times on a woman whose hands are handcuffed behind her back, legs restrained, with a mask on is completely bogus.


Numerous experts said the use of a stun gun on a fully restrained prisoner was an unreasonable use of force, particularly in a jail setting where a person is unlikely to flee.

They also said Tasers are not recommended for use on the mentally ill, that even the Taser manufacturer warns against using them on people in a state of “excited delirium,” and that using a stun gun more than three times is thought to be above the threshold for use on a single person.

“She wasn’t a threat; she wasn’t going anywhere; she was restrained,” said Richard Lichten, a use-of-force expert and former jail official in Los Angeles. “It feels excessive, unnecessary and out of policy, based on what you’re telling me.”


The truth is, though, that police have been covering up the real details on Natasha's death for months (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-death-without-answers-in-fairfax/2015/03/17/f943222c-cc1c-11e4-8c54-ffb5ba6f2f69_story.html). Furthermore, multiple sources told NBC (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Alexandria-Woman-Dies-After-Being-Stunned-by-Deputies-291272431.html) that police detectives were denied access to the Fairfax County jail for their investigation into her death. Only after two months of pressure was it revealed that Natasha McKenna was as physically restrained as a human being could possibly be when she was tasered over and over and over and over again.


Even after all of this, police are not quite clear on why Natasha McKenna was even jailed in the first place (http://www.wusa9.com/story/news/local/virginia/2015/02/13/the-sad-end-of-a-woman-nobody-seemed-to-know-how-to-help/23384615/). On the day she was arrested, she had actually called the police herself to report being assaulted and appeared to be struggling mightily with mental illness before she bounced around between hospitals and jails for days.

Man in videotaped police beating alleges retaliation by LAPD officers

A man who sued the LAPD alleging that he'd been held down and beaten by police last fall made new accusations on Tuesday, saying officers have been harassing him and his family in retaliation.

Flanked by his father and his attorney, Clinton Alford Jr. told reporters that officers have repeatedly driven past his South L.A. house. And helicopters have flown so close overhead that walls and windows shook.

The 22-year-old's attorney, Caree Harper, said officers had "heckled" Alford and his family while driving past their home. Last week, she said, officers drew their guns on her client after stopping him for a traffic violation.

Harper said she planned to amend a federal civil rights lawsuit she filed on Alford's behalf to include the allegations of retaliation by police.
"They want to catch him doing anything," she said. "Even if he's not doing anything."

Alford said he was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk along Avalon Boulevard near 55th Street that October afternoon when a car pulled up. A man shouted a command to stop, but Alford said he continued pedaling because the man hadn't identified himself as a police officer.

When someone grabbed the back of the bike, Alford said he jumped off and ran.

After a short foot pursuit, two officers caught up to Alford, he said. Another officer arrived and began beating the 22-year-old, who said he was lying on the ground handcuffed.

The altercation was captured by a private company's security camera. Several police officials who have seen video told The Times earlier that one officer delivered a powerful kick to Alford's head. One official said the officer resembled "a football player kicking a field goal." Another described it as "horrific."

The officials said that Alford had surrendered and was not resisting the officers.

Chicago Pays $5 Million to Family of Black Teenager Killed by Officer

The City Council here agreed on Wednesday to pay $5 million to the family of a black teenager who was fatally shot by a Chicago police officer last fall, as federal and state prosecutors acknowledged that they were conducting a criminal investigation into the shooting.

The council’s decision came swiftly and with no debate, even before a suit had been filed in the case by the family of Laquan McDonald, 17, who the police say was wielding a three-inch knife when an officer shot him 16 times on Oct. 20 on the city’s Southwest Side. The authorities say a dashboard camera on a police squad car captured the confrontation, though the recording has not been made public.

Arkansas cops accused of trying to hack whistleblowers’ attorney with malicious software

The police department in Fort Smith, Arkansas is accused of trying to trick an attorney into downloading malicious software onto his computer during his work in a case involving three police whistleblowers, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazettereported. (http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2015/apr/14/lawyer-malware-located-on-drive-2015041/?f=news-arkansas)

The lawyer, Matthew Campbell, said in an affadavit that the department gave him an external hard drive containing three “trojan” viruses, while also deleting email accounts pertaining to the case instead of giving him information.

“One would have kept my Internet active even if I tried to turn it off, one would have stolen any passwords that I entered in, and the other would have allowed the installation of other malicious software,” Campbell said. “It’s not like these are my only clients, either. I’ve got all my client files in my computer. I don’t know what they were looking for, but just the fact that they would do it is pretty scary.”

Campbell currently represents three current and former officers who filed a whistleblowers’ lawsuit against the department, saying they were targeted for speaking out regarding a civilian employee’s taking illegal overtime and the wrongful termination of a probationary officer.

Video Shows Cops Arrest Healthy Man, Hours Later He’s in ICU in a Coma With Severe Injuries

27-year old Freddie Gray is now hospitalized in critical condition and in induced coma, after an incident with Baltimore police Sunday morning.

An eyewitness captured video footage of Gray being restrained and hauled into the back of a police van after being chased and arrested by bike cops. What happened after that is a mystery, as Freddie Gray is now unconscious in Shock Trauma with multiple injuries.

According to the family, Gray has spinal injuries and is barely alive. Richard Shipley, Gray’s stepfather, told local news affiliate WJZ, “His face is swollen. He just looks really horrible. Like I said, he’s in an induced coma. We’re all praying.”

Police will not say why the bike cops arrested the fleeing Gray, or how he ended up in the hospital in an induced coma.

Did Gray receive a “nickel ride” (http://thefreethoughtproject.com/hear-nickel-ride-philly-cops-gave-man-one-tax-payers-giving-490k/) from the fine folks at the Baltimore Police Department?

For those who don’t know, “nickel rides,” as reported by the Inquirer in 2001, were a witness-free way for police to punish unruly, uncooperative, or arrogant suspects – without ever laying a hand on them. For rogue police, it was a literal way to deliver “street justice.”
